Made by James Hardie for over 20 years, Hardie™ Tex Base Sheet is the original blue board. Hardie™ Tex Base Sheet is a strong, pre-primed base sheet that is finished on-site with a specialised texture coat system*. Hardie™ Tex Base Sheet is the original way to create a decorative, monolithic rendered look without the need for masonry.

Hardie™ Tex Base Sheet is suitable for use as an external cladding in residential homes, including renovations and extensions, where a lightweight system with a monolithic rendered look is required. For an even easier solution choose Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding, an 8.5mm thick panel featuring a v-groove joint, which has the render texture embedded in the panel.
